Two researchers specializing in virtual reality training become the first guinea pigs to try it out in order track down a international terrorist. Jordan Chan is the best thing about this mediocre action flick. His performance as a ticking time bomb of rage isn't the most original but he does the best he can with it. It should have been a great film unfortunately it's bogged down by too much melodrama, too little action, and a luckluster bad guy. On the bright side Hot War does show that HK is definitely improving on special effects technology. 5/10
